Leland Tower, Historic skyscraper in Aurora, Illinois.
The Leland Tower rises twenty-two stories above Stolp Island, with an Italian Romanesque architectural design and serves as Aurora's tallest structure.
Built in 1928, this structure held the distinction of being the tallest building in Illinois outside of Chicago during the economic growth period.
The Sky Club at the tower's summit emerged as a central gathering point where notable figures like Philip K. Wrigley and Gene Autry frequented.
Located at 7 South Stolp Avenue in Aurora, the former hotel now functions as an apartment building with residential units throughout its floors.
Blues musicians used the building as a recording location, including sessions by John Lee Williamson during the structure's early entertainment period.
